ok
So we will subtract all the cases that dont meet our criteria
Which are
(4,0,0,0) (0,4,0,0) (0,0,4,0) and (0,0,0,4)
Other than those, all the sets of (p,q,r,s) meet our constraints
So 35 - 4 = 31
In these many ways the rectangles can be arranged
Haha yeah

how is it u-1 on the top
my u sub = x^2 + 1
(x^2 + 1) - 1 = x^3??
well, 1/2x
so (x^2 + 1) -1 /x = x^3??
du = 2x dx
x^3 = x^2 * x = 1/2(u-1)du
$\int{\frac{x^3}{u}\cdot\frac{du}{2x}$
Good

because dx = du/(2x) gets rid of one of the x's on top

Jeremy
sqrt(1 + x^2) is called a hyperbola I think, but sqrt(1 + x^2) and sqrt(x^2) are actually quite similar for large values of x
and I guess sqrt(1 - x^2) is different, because there is a minus sign
so it isn't defined everywhere
focus on domain
for the 1st one
domain is [-1, 1]
and the equation of the unit circle is given by x^2 + y^2 = 1
hence y = sqrt(1 - x^2) is the upper part of the circle
for the 2nd one domain is set of real numbers
and it's conjugate hyperbola
its equation is x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = -1, for a = b = 1 we have:
x^2 - y^2 = -1
y^2 = x^2 + 1
y = sqrt(x^2 + 1) us upper part of it
what transformation do you want to use to go from the 1st one to the 2nd
generally taking root of f(x) is not described as a type of transformation
In other words there is no universal behaviour we can define for such an operation
like e.g. f(x) + c is vertical translation up c units
no matter what f(x) is
Jeremy
for the square root situation is different
it is as it is, in math little detail can make a difference as you can see
why is it absolute value?
that's simple
consider two cases
x >= 0
then sqrt(x^2) = x
x < 0
sqrt(x^2) = x (???)
no because notice that if x was e.g. -5 then we would get that sqrt(x^2) = -5, which is impossible, square root is always nonnegative
and hence sqrt((-5)^2) = sqrt(25) = 5 and not -5
sometimes this property is even define as the definition of abs value
sqrt(x^3)
is defined for x >= 0
and its graph is different also
,w plot sqrt(x^3)

is (x^2)(y^2)(z^2) = (xyz)^2
No, the equation sqrt(x2y2z^2) = xyz is not always true.
it would instead be sqrt(x2y2z^2) = |xyz|
this is what im trying to understand
making sure there is an absolute value
cant read the handwriting

given that f = {(1,2), (4,6), (9,7), (10,4) and g = {(5,3),(4,2),(3,7),(1,9)] evaluate f(g^-1(1)
yea im confused
we should be looking for a coordinate with a y value of 1, but it doesn't exist
so perhaps it is undefined
well that would only be true if g^-1(1) = 1 lol
yeah
so I assume the answer is undefined
wait so if theres an inverse you still look at the y part of the coordinate?
waut no
why are we looking for a y value of 1
ohhh
because the inverse of g^-1 should be the y coordinate but its not in any of the coordinates given
yeah I mean it's basically asking what is the x coordinate of the coordinate with y = 1
that makes way more sense

@drifting umbra Has your question been resolved?
do you need help on the above stuff though
Okay
what?
im very confused sorry
Oh i get it sorry
okay
ive never learned this before but i think the first one's equation would be a1+5d=39
because since we're seperating the a6
it would be 5d for another variable unless im not using my brain
then for a12 it would be a1+11d=81 i would assume
so then you would subtract 11d-5d=81-39
6d=42
which means d would equal 7?
so now time to find d
a1+5(7)=39? solve this for the first term
this means the difference is 7
i guess even though i haven't seen this stuff before
Can you make that clear?
@vivid lance
I think that's correct
Can you just make it clear so I can understand
yes of course
okay so a6 = a1 + 5d = 39
d = difference
a1+5 is 6 so that adds up to a6
so it would equal 39
so then
for a12 it would be a1+11d=81 because 11+1 is 12
and you would subtract the equations to FIND the difference
so a1-a1 is 0
11d-5d=81-39
or we could do
5d-11d=39-81
which is the same thing
which means d=7
because -6d=-42
d=-42/6
oop
d=42/6 which equals to 7
then u subsitute d for the FIRST term
the first term IS a1+5d=39
so yeah it'd be a1+5(7)=39
then a1+35=39 then subtract 39
35*
then you'd get 4
for the first term
and the difference would be 7
🙂
im gonna get some sleep bye and good luck

I know the derivative of the function is 4x but I am unsure how to find the equation for the parallel line
for finding the point where the slope is parallel I got (1,2)
CNX^n-1
then point slope form would be y-2=4(x-1) right
y=4x-2?

Why is -(3^2)^3=-729 and not 729
Ik 3^2 is 9
Then do I make it negative then do the power or do the power then make it negative
cause -ive to odd power = -ive
Think of it as $(-1)^3 * (9)^3$
USS-Enterprise
but also the - is on the outside so even if you had -(3^2) it would still be -9
(-1)*(-1)*(-1) = 1*(-1) = -1
Im kinda confused
Yes
Wait so since the bracket is 9 would I do 9 times -1 then to the power of 3 or would I cube it first then multiply by negative one
Nevermind, forget what I said completely
I thought the minus was in parenthesis
Oh alr
You've got $-(9)^3$
USS-Enterprise
Yeah
You can write this as $(-1) * (9)^3$
USS-Enterprise
So no matter what comes out in the second one it's getting multiplied by (-1)
Ah I see so I'd cube it first
Thanks I get it
Yeah, sorry I misread the original problem

can anybody explain how you would go from y = x^2, to y = (1/16)(x+2)^2+1
I wrote vertical compression of 1/16, translate to the left by 2 units, upwards 1 unit.
but apparently it's: stretch horizontally by a factor of 4, translate left by 2 units, upwards by 1

yeah
how is it being stretched horizontally by 4?
doesnt the 1/16 mean it's a vertical compression of 1/16?
where is the 4, horizontal, and stretch part coming from?
Do yoi know how to stretch horizontally?
Actually I think vetically by 1/16 is same as horizontally as 4
In this case I mean
oh
by 4
ye
$y=(\frac{x}{4}+2)^2+1$

because we first stretched, then moved

Hello I need help with this question
So for (A) I think its 462 elements since there are 6 spots to fill, we can choose it in (11 choose 6) different ways, so our sample space S will contain 462 elements
This is because the prime factors of the above number are P = { 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31 }
For (B), can I just remove 3 from the factors list and then just find that P(A) = 1-P(not A) = 1 - (10 choose 6/11 choose 6) = 6/11
(C) is apparently a typo in question and its suppose to be "product is divisible by 6". So im kinda confused how to go on this, the prime factors of 6 is 2 and 3 so does that mean i just remove 2 and 3 from the P again and do something similar???
So for (C) it would be 1-[P(not divisible by 3) + P(not divisible by 2) - P(not divisby by 2 and 3)] = 1-[(10 choose 6/11 choose 6) + (10 choose 6/11 choose 6) - (9 choose 6)/(11 choose 6)] = 3/11?
I dont really know how to do (E)...... Can i get some help on this one as well
anyone?
<@&286206848099549185>
Actually for (E), if ordered matter, then therer would have been 11 choices for first position, 10 choices for 2nd position and etc until 6th position. So total elements would have been 11*10*9*8*7*6=332640. Since there is only one unique way the subset can be increasing order, this is just the same as asking how many ways can we find a 6 digit number. So this is just (11 choose 6)/332640 which is 1/720?
is this correct????

So for B what they are asking is what is the probability that in the 6 you've chosen out of 11 one of them is 3
And for C it is what is the probability that both 2 and 3 are in there
so if i take the compliment of it, P(not divisible by 3), it would not include 3 at all, so it would be (10 choose 6) / (11 choose 6)
so this results in P(divisble by 3) = 6/11, is this correct?

I am attempting to prove that for the functions g(n) and f(n) have the same asymptotic growth rate. The exponent of g(n) is a constant 3/2. The exponent of f(n) is periodic between 1-3 is it correct to say that at infinity/large enough valaues these two functions will have the same growth rate?
For the sake of this example. Let us say that f(n) = x^(1 - 3) and g(n) = x^3/2

can someone help me with this
Well, there is a really dirty trick
Consider the number closest to it
Let it be x
Now divide the square of that number by x
After which you take their average value.
It seems like out of nowhere but it is a very close approximation
REMEMBER to use the nearest number
But since maybe you are in school, you would be forced to do it the 'school' method AKA actually finding the square root by long division
yes
Do you know how to find square roots by long division?
yes
Then you should proceed with it
so i find the square root of 53 and i convert to 1 decimal place?
just find the first two places
Just find the two decimal places, round it off to one decimal place
can someone tell me the straight up answer?
sadly no
its fine i did it 10 minutes ago

could someone guide me
i think you will need to use the fact that f is uniformly continuous
since its on a compact interval
uniform implies pointwise. find f by taking fn(x) n to ifty limit.
Now u have candidate f for convergence.
Take that f and proove uniform convergence
well, f is given in the problem. so they don't have to construct it
which makes things easier
my hint is to use/think about uniform continuity. but i can help/provide more if needed 
it starts out with "Let f b e a continuous function on [0,1]". so you have f already given to you. Arkos needs to prove that f_n --> f uniformly, where f_n is (conveniently) defined in terms of f
i see
@livid bramble Has your question been resolved?

\forall \epsilon \exists \delta \forall x,y (|x-y|<\delta => |f(x)-f(y)|)
y:=(k-1)/n
for that we need 0<=x-(k-1)/n<1/n
bit hazy here
so set N=floor(1/delta)?
yeah. that's right.
then you can check sup_{x \in [0,1]} |f_N(x) - f(x)| \leq \epsilon
as well as for all n >= N
im still bit blurred at how its working
if N=floor(1/delta)
delta>1/n and delta>|x-(k-1)/n|
but I can't seem to be getting a hold of 1/n>|x-(k-1)/n| which I need for k to be defined

what do you mean that you need for k to be defined?
i was typing the next step but it occurred to me that talking about the confusion might help more
like k depends on x and n
and for f_n(x)=f((k-1)/n) we need 0<=x-((k-1)/n)<1/n
oh, you only need to show that |x - (k-1) / n| < \delta, not < 1/n
yeah
so I really need x-(k-1)/n<1/n for k to be well defined
or we have to tweak it ig
maybe its all gibberish that im saying
maybe it helps to say it like this. the background: you have some \epsilon > 0, and you chose n \in N large enough such that, whenever |x - y| < 1 /N, you have |f(x) - f(y)| < \epsilon.
so now, if x is in [(k-1) / N, k /N) for some k, then |x - (k - 1) / N| < 1 / N. this means that |f((k - 1) / N) - f(x)| < \epsilon for all x in this half open interval
this leaves out the case when x = 1, but that's no problem. so this shows that |f_N(x) - f(x)| < \epsilon for all x \in [0,1] (because the half open intervals partition this set), hence the sup is <= \epsilon, so ||f_N(x) - f(x)|| <= \epsilon, where the norm is the supremum norm
now you have to show it for all n >= N
but this is no problem, its really just the same argument, since 1/n < 1/N
so you just have to check the inequality for all the x in each half open interval. i think that's what you were confused about. each time you pick an x, it lies in some half open interval
and whenever it does, |f_n(x) - f(x)| < \epsilon
maybe i could have done a better job explaining
i haven't been doing this (helping in math channels) for that long
i think it was a little strange. you're saying |x - (k -1) / n| must be smaller than 1 / n for k to be well defined. but your condition for requiring k to be well defined itself uses k
idk at this point
f_n(x)=f((k-1)/n), where k is a positive integer that satisfies these inequalities 0<=(x-(k-1)/n)<1/n
yeah. so $f_n$ is defined piecewise by $$f_n(x) = \begin{cases} f((k-1) / n) & x \in [(k-1) / n, k / n)\ f(1) & x = 1 \end{cases} $$
jesus
I feel like I should be able to do it now, I'll comeback if I get stuck 
ves
okay
good luck. it helps maybe to try to picture the function f_n

How do you do conjuctive normal form from logical expression to boolean without using K-map?
I mean if we get a disjunctive form, how do I convert it to conjunctive?
For example, this what I got in DNF from one function and I can easily make a conjunctive if I take K-map into consideration
But I need to show some steps on how I calculated CNF like in DNF.
Yet I have no clue how or where to start with CNF

can someone help me understand how they got -4?
i dont even know how to start
There’s a typo
They mean where k is a constant
Not where f is a constant
Does that help?
no i still dont know how to do the problem
Set equal and solve for k as it is continuous.
i tried conjugation but i dont think i was supposed to
What does it mean for f to be continuous at x = 0?
wym set equal
ok.
???
Thanks :p
@marsh marsh answer this
that means f is defined at x=0 right
That’s a necessary but not sufficient condition
What three conditions must be true for a function to be continuous?
it must be defined at that point, its limit must exist at the point, and the value of the function at that point must equal the value of the limit at that point
Can you more precisely define what you mean by “the limit must exist at the point”
idk how
Have you seen left and right hand side limits
yea
That
Use those terms to more precisely define what you mean by the limit “existing”
left and right hand limits are equal
Aha
Find a k that makes this true
And this true
Then f will be continuous at x = 0
well i know the answer is -4 but i just dont know the process of getting to it
must be defined at x=0
Is f defined at x = 0?
yes
limit must exist at x=0
What does that mean
left and right hand have to be equal
We want to find $\lim_{x\to 0^-} f(x)$ right?
Frosst
Hold up why does it say “and” in the first line of the piecewise function
yea
But x ≠ 0 or x >= 4 is just x ≠ 0
This is really weird
Well I’m gonna assume they meant or
Because if they meant and, then f is not continuous at x = 0 for any k
Because your function’s domain would just be {0} ∪ [4, inf)
(-4, inf)
Why -4
isnt it greater than or equal to
Yeah but look at the conditions on the piecewise
If they really meant “and” then it won’t include anything less than 4 except 0
Hence I will assume they meant “or”
x>=4 is useless to the function, i did not bother with it 🤷♂️
what did you do then
if you plug in 0 for the top function, you get 0/0
what is the rule if you get 0/0? what must you do?
factor conjugate yes!
tell me your factored form.
i tried conjugation but i either did it wrong or it doesnt work for this
what is the conjugate of $2-\sqrt(4+x))$
2+sqrt(4+x)
Tank_Driver011
multiply to top and bottom
what happens when this is evaluated? what do you get?
ok good! your professor is going to take points off from this, there is just one crucial thing you must write on the side of your shown work relating to the limit: What is it?
am i supposed to make it g(x)?
cuz its supposed to be like im using an identical function
you are supposed to show the limit (what is happening)
so i write lim x->0?
Yes! Nice work!
plug in 0 and you get your value.
the function does not show a split, we know it is continuous.
if it had x>0 x<0 that would be a different case to check if it checks out with all of the rules.
now you have k solved!
@subtle blaze good? Anything you wanted to add?
alr ty 🙏🏼
Yeah that’s good
how do you know the function is continuous
You want to show all the conditions of continuity is held by your k
You said it yourself
This
And this
If bla bla bla is true, we call it “continuous”
To show continuity you show that bla bla bla is true
K is a constant, we know it checks out, it tells us this.
the right and left side are going to 0, they must as it was solved for (it is a 0/0 problem, we use lim x approaches n, not stating right and left sides) in the top function which equated to -4. f(x) = -4, and lim x approaches -4 = f(x) = -4
could be written as lim x approaches -4 = f(0)=-4 as well

There’s no
Help please. Idk how to do this
You just have to take limit and see which function will go to negative infinity. So answer should be 1st, 3rd, 5th options.
Let us take 1st for example.
As x approaches more and more negative value, the value of f(x) will approach negative infinity or positive infinity depending on leading coefficient sign at x equals something negative. Just check using -1. If leading term gets a positive coefficient, it is positive infinity. Or else negative infinity.
I just guessed that cause it’s positive and the rest are negative
Cause the one in parenthesis had a -3 which would make it a -Infiniti right?
Ok thanks for the help

can someone help me chose what classes to have for math in high school for an 8th grader and in what order? (we can go to dms)
any <@&286206848099549185> here that can help?
honestly take whatever you find interesting
if you don't have a choice, and if you're asking the usual progression of classes, then it goes something like algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, precalculus, calculus
i am currently doing algebra 1 in 8th grade
but in any case, most of those classes are just review
also, i would like to prepare for geometry (things that arent covered in algebra 1)
<@&286206848099549185> ?
tldr; i want to practice geometry and learn about it
maybe try some online geometry exercises

Show that the class of residues {2,3,...,p-2}=A can be paired up into multiplactive inverses, p prime.
I have a weird proof, but im wondering how is this supposed to be done profesionally?
well really the only thing you have to check is that there are no self-inverse elements
otherwise if a is not self inverse and b is its inverse, then the inverse of b is again a and you have the pair (a,b)
righttt since the inverse is always in Zp?
obiously, Yeah that makes sense
Can i prove the existence of an inverse by saying that for some $a \in A$ let $x$ be the inverse
bigpufik
and let x not be in A
oh you havent done existence yet?
Im just trying to be sure... I am self studying and its all very icey
I assumed the above, and then claimed that $a\equiv r \pmod p$ where r, r' is a part of Zp and $x \equiv r' \pmod p$
bigpufik
then that means $rr' \equiv 1 \pmod p$
bigpufik
and so if the inverse wouldnt be in Zp, then it would be false.
is this ok?
I already proved the existence of the inverse using Zp and Zp where you multiply everything by a
if you have proven existence with this then you are done
but is this ok?
you have proven the existence in Zp. therefore where else should it be
it makes no sense to talk about an inverse if that inverse is not in the same set

Feel like you are missing something
Then isolate B?
this is literal equasions
divide m by x
What happens if you subtract MX
wouldnt they cancel out?
Wdym?
idk anything about this type of math
All you need to do is isolate B
you can subtract M times X from one side of an equation

question 38
the answer is 0 and -1
but how is it possible to get that?
I get stuck after making this far
That's not the correct way to do this
Isnt he curious why they balance
To write the full solution, you will need to prove that there is no other x for which f(x)=f(f(x))
All u man ur probably better
Your way to do this is correct, but you will need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by (x+2)
After simplify f(f(x)), calculate the equation f(f(x))=f(x)
So ill assume ill have to turn the +2 into 2(x+2)/x+2?
and then multiple numerator and denominator by x+2
yes
I can show it to you if you're not sure what to do next
its probably just me messing up somewhere here
I’m not too sure what to do after this 😅
Ahh I’ll try that
The denominator should be the same

jst need a quick explaination, why did the limits change?
substitution u=tanx, so you need to change the bounds with it
so since im using u as tanx i have to sub x with the limits?
yes so you get u=tan(pi/4)=1 and u=tan(0)=0
what if i had secx
yeah i get that part, that was one of my guesses

((𝑛/𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑥)+𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑥)/
2
So basically
I understand the idea of this equation
N is a number (16 for example)
and priorapprox is the guess (lets say 3)
that would help me evaluate the square root of a number
so if it were 4
16/4 + 4 is 8, divided by 2 is 4
But if the wrong value is entered
say 3
it gives me 4.16666667
I'm unsure how to interpret that
so you're saying to approximate some number $\sqrt{n_0}$ you can use $t_{n}=\frac{\frac{n_0}{t_{n-1}}-t_{n-1}}{2}$?
FancyBredFries
No
then what are you trying to say? 
This probably isnt the real math equation
because its for a different class than math
I think priorapprox is probably a made up variable
I couldnt find anything about this online
but essentially
if you had the actual square root
of any number
and put it in
it would just stick itself out
but I'm just confused on how I can interpret wrong inputs
like 16 where my guess (or priorapprox) is 3
that's literally this ^ 
Okay good
let's say $\sqrt{2}\approx1.4$ then $t_{1}=\frac{\frac{2}{1.4}-1.4}{2}$
FancyBredFries
I saw the n-1's and thought it was som else
+, not -

according to OP's equation
oh! thank you, knew something was up when I got 0.014 
Result:
1.4142857142857
Result:
1.4142135623731
Ohhhhh
look how close that is :) 4 digits at 1st approximation
,calc (2/1.4142857142857+1.4142857142857)/2
Result:
1.4142135642136
I see
then we get 7 at the 2nd approximation, that should be enough digits to be satisfactory, but you can always compute more :)
I believe this formula comes from the Taylor approximation of sqrt(x)
but don't count me on that, there are lots of recusrive formulae approximating sqrt(x)
Okay yeah I get it now that's cool
